Audio engineers work on the "technical aspect of recording—the placing of microphones, pre-amp knobs, the setting of levels. The physical recording of any project is done by an engineer... the nuts and bolts." Sound engineering is increasingly seen as a creative profession where musical instruments and technology are used to produce sound for film, radio, television, music and video games.

The Addams Family Theme
The theme for the 1964 TV series ''The Addams Family'' was written and arranged by longtime Hollywood film and television composer Vic Mizzy. The song's arrangement was dominated by a harpsichord, and featured finger-snaps as percussive accompaniment. Actor Ted Cassidy, reprising his " Lurch" voice, punctuated the lyrics with the words "neat", "sweet", and "petite".

How Great Thou Art (Elvis Presley Album)
''How Great Thou Art'' is the ninth studio album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley, released by RCA Victor in February 1967. ''How Great Thou Art'' is a gospel album with slow numbers on one side, and fast-paced numbers on the flipside. The album earned Presley a Grammy Award for Best Sacred Performance, while it became a '' Billboard'' top 20 pop hit and it appeared on the Top Country Albums chart on the top 10. After the initial success of his films and their respective soundtracks, Presley's movie career began to decline by the mid-1960s.
